End of Year BOOK LISTS for 2019
I created the following list was created to add more Latinx choices to seasonal buying choices. Many of these books are available at Barnes and Noble, Half Price Books and the Twig bookstore. Many are also available online from independent booksellers like Powell's Books and all are on Amazon. Consider supporting Latinx author's this season to provide mirrors for people to see themselves and sliding doors so that diverse cultures can be experienced authentically.
